Python Math: Calculate surface volume and area of a cylinder


5. Cylinder Surface, Volume & Area

Write a Python program to calculate the surface volume and area of a cylinder.
Note: A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

pi=22/7
height = float(input('Height of cylinder: '))
radian = float(input('Radius of cylinder: '))
volume = pi * radian * radian * height
sur_area = ((2*pi*radian) * height) + ((pi*radian**2)*2)
print("Volume is: ", volume)
print("Surface Area is: ", sur_area)

Sample Output:

Height of cylinder: 4                                                                                         
Radius of cylinder: 6                                                                                         
Volume is:  452.57142857142856                                                                                
Surface Area is:  377.1428571428571

  • Write a Python program that calculates the surface area and volume of a cylinder given its radius and height, then prints the results with proper units.
  • Write a Python function that accepts height and radius, computes both the surface area and volume of a cylinder, and returns them as a tuple.
  • Write a Python script to compare the volume of two cylinders with different dimensions using your cylinder calculation function.
  • Write a Python program to generate random values for height and radius, compute the cylinder's volume and surface area, and display them formatted to 2 decimal places.
